It's time to give Thanks! And we're thankful for the amount of readable material out in the ether - because without it, what else would we bring to the table?

This month is something special - our very first Battle of the Genres as Novel Spirits! One genre, two books, one victor. Jacob and Michael face off to see who can bring the top sample of Magical Realism. Piranesi or Blade of the Immortal!

Piranesi - https://www.amazon.com/Piranesi-Susanna-Clarke/dp/1635577802

Blade of the Immortal - https://www.amazon.com/Blade-Immortal-Omnibus-Hiroaki-Samura/dp/1506701248

The drinks varied for this episode because there wasn't a set theme to work with, so bring out your favorite and enjoy all the same. Any and all feedback welcome!

And don't forget to like, subscribe, and comment/vote for your chance to win some amazing studio prizes. Subscribers (and voters!) are auto-enrolled in our new monthly raffle, where you can win studio merch, books, comics, games, and more.

As always, Cheers! Until next time.

Spooooooky!

Happy Halloween, everyone! In true tradition and fashion, Novel Spirits has chosen another spooky book for y'all - Junji Ito's Tomie!

And I won't lie - it's not for the faint of heart. But we kept it light and jovial as usual. The drinks were flowing, the jokes were cracking, and the ghosts were ghosting. So join us once more as we delve into Tomie and what made her oh so special ;)

Cheers!

We promised Ninja Gaiden, but sadly could not deliver...However, we have quite literally the next best vibe! This month/This episode, we cover Ninja Slayer Kills, written by Koutarou Sekine, created by Bradley Bond and Phillip 'Ninja' Morzez. An action-packed, Ninja meets Cyberpunk, story of vengeance!

We also resolved some of the standing items from the last episode, talked smack about each other, and drank the night away. We appreciate any and all who left stuff to follow up on. Cheers!

Here are the deets -
